Guidelines for Authors – Moreshet Journal (June 2021)

1. Double quotation marks must be used for all quotes throughout the text. Single quotation marks should be used exclusively for a quote within a quote. All punctuation marks must be placed outside the quotation marks, except for question marks and exclamation points that are an inherent part of the quoted text.
2. Any quote longer than three lines must be indented and formatted without quotation marks. It should be preceded and followed by a blank line space.
3. Dates within the main text must follow this format: 21 January 1959.
4. To indicate a specific time, use the 12-hour format accompanied by the phrases “in the morning”, “in the afternoon”, “in the evening”, or “at night”.
5. Numbers from zero to ten, as well as round numbers, must be written out in words. This also applies to hundreds and decades (e.g., the sixties, the seventies). Other numbers should be written in digits.
   Example: There were seven dogs in the yard; There were 27 dogs in the yard.
6. Headings must be bolded.
7. Subheadings must also be bolded.
8. Citations: All notes and citations must be formatted as endnotes.
9. An endnote written in a foreign language, or one where the final element is not in Hebrew, should not end with a period.

Citation Formatting Structure

The following structures must be used for citations:

Books

First Citation (In Full): Author’s first name and surname, Title of the Book, Place of Publication, Year of Publication, p. 10.

*If the publisher is a university, its name must be stated before the place of publication, followed by a comma.

Editor’s first name and surname (ed.), Title of the Book, Place of Publication, Year of Publication, pp. 10–20.

For up to three authors or editors, list all names in full with a comma before the final name. When there are more than three names, list only the first author followed by et al. (and in Hebrew: ואחרים).

If the author’s name does not appear on the title page but is known, it should be added inside square brackets.

If the author’s name appears on the title page as a pseudonym or abbreviation, write it exactly as it appears in the source; their full name may be added afterward in square brackets.

Harry Forman and Jon Mehlman (eds.), Culinary Delights, New York 1967, p. 78

Non-English Books (Non-Latin Alphabet): All book titles and publication details for works written in languages that do not use the Latin alphabet must be translated.

Yoav Goldman, The Last Cry of the Sparrow: Bird- Watching in the Holy Land, Tel Aviv 2015, pp. 25-27 (Hebrew)

Non-English Books (Latin Alphabet): All titles and publication details for non-English books written in the Latin alphabet must be translated. These works can be translated into either English or the language of publication.

Albert Camus, L’Étranger, Paris 1942, p. 11
Albert Camus, The Stranger, Paris 1942, pp. 23-70 (French)

Subsequent Citations: Once a source has been cited in full within the endnotes, all subsequent references to it should be shortened (Author’s surname, shortened title, p./pp.).

Goldman, The Last Cry of the Sparrow, pp. 25-27

Journal Articles

First Citation (In Full): Author’s first name and surname, “Title of the Article”, Name of the Journal, Vol, Issue (No.) (Year), pp. 25–27.

Dalia Ofer, “Transitions in Extreme Situations: Two Women under Nazi Occupation”, Yalkut Moreshet, 101 (2020), pp. 250–276.

Mark Vine, “On the Future of Social Research in Israel”, Journal of Contemporary Social Research, 5 (2) (1995), pp. 66-78

When multiple items are included within the same endnote, they must be separated by a semicolon (;).

Ofer, “Transitions in Extreme Situations”; Marvin Lewis, “Where the Wild Ones Were”, Journal of Narrative Fiction, 5 (1), pp. 33-45; Marty Webb, For the Gatherers, Barcelona 1978, p. 34 (Campish)

Additional Citation Rules

1. In consecutive citations of a different work by the exact same author, use the term הנ”ל (or Idem), followed by a comma and the shortened title.
2. The word שם (or Ibid.) indicates the identical source and page numbers as the immediately preceding note. If the preceding note contains multiple sources, the reference applies to the last item mentioned. When the source is identical but the page number differs, use שם (or Ibid.) followed by the appropriate page number (e.g., שם, עמ’ 37 / Ibid., p. 37).
3. When referencing a bibliographic source that was mentioned in the preceding note alongside other items—and it was not the last one listed—the author’s name must be stated again.
